AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Pillow plate reactors experience significant stress and potential damage due to differential thermal expansion of components, particularly between the reactor shell and plate pack, which is exacerbated by pressure considerations, making flexible solutions impractical.

Method used

A reactor design with a suspended plate pack and curved flow paths for the cooling fluid, including a distributor at the underside and a collector at the top, with supply and discharge lines that change orientation by specific angles to distribute thermal expansion forces effectively.

Benefits of technology

The design minimizes the effects of thermal expansion by distributing the stress over a longer length, allowing the reactor to withstand high pressures without the need for flexible hoses, thus reducing the risk of damage and enhancing operational stability.

Abstract

Reactor (1) comprising a reactor vessel (2) and within the reactor vessel (2): - a suspended plate pack (3), - a distributor (7) connected to the plate pack (3), - at least one supply line (8) through which the distributor (7) is connected to a respective coolant inlet (11) of the reactor vessel (2), - a manifold (9) connected to the plate pack (3), - at least one outlet (10) through which the manifold (9) is connected to a respective coolant outlet (12) of the reactor vessel (2), where flow paths are formed for the coolant, and where at least one supply line (8) is curved.
